Breaking - Ron Paul on Daily Show
Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - FreeMarketNews.com


Presidential candidate, Congressman Dr. Ron Paul (R-TX) continues to be a "hot ticket" on nightly newscasts. On Friday, May 25, he is appearing on the Bill Maher program, "Real Time" and sources say that he may also appear on Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and maybe The Colbert Report as well.

"The Daily Show seems to be wrapped up," said one source close to the campaign. "They just have to pick a date. Colbert may be happening as well."

The programs, on Comedy Central, have proven most popular in the last few years, spawning a kind of new media genre, "comedy news." The hosts deal with newsworthy topics of interest, and even interview serious newsmakers, but do so in a way that makes light of the news content, treating some or much of it "for laughs."

The programs score especially well with young people. Some polls even seem to indicate that adolescents and young adults receive more information about news and current events from such shows than from more serious venues.

The Daily Show describes itself as follows:

One anchor, five correspondents, zero credibility.

If you're tired of the stodginess of the evening newscasts, if you can't bear to sit through the spinmeisters and shills on the 24-hour cable news networks, don't miss The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, a nightly half-hour series unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity or even accuracy.

The Emmy and Peabody Award-winning Daily Show takes a reality-based look at news, trends, pop culture, current events, politics, sports and entertainment with an alternative point of view. In each show anchorman Jon Stewart and a team of correspondents, including Dan Bakkedahl, John Oliver, Rob Riggle, Jason Jones and Samantha Bee and Lewis Black, comment on the day's stories, employing actual news footage, taped field pieces, in-studio guests and on-the-spot coverage of important news events.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart - it's even better than being informed.
